Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the
years,
they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately,their
activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play
cards.
One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and
said,
"Now don't get mad at me. I know we've been friends for a long
time, but
I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't
remember it. Please tell me what your name is."
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just
stared and
glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"
